traduction anglaise
If any party files a request made in the form of a motion asking the court to order any of the measures provided in Book 4 for the protection of the party's rights during the trial, or for the enforcement of a judgment or order, the court shall grant or dismiss that request without delay. If, at the time the request is filed, the court is already in a position to decide the case, the court may rule on that request in its judgment or in its order deciding the case.

Annotation de l'entreprise
Section 25 is the procedural gateway for the protective and enforcement measures set out in Book 4 of the Code, including interim measures to protect a party's rights during litigation and measures used to enforce a judgment or order. Its core commands are that the court must act without delay and that, where the case is ripe, the court may fold its ruling on the motion into the final judgment. It does not require the court to hold an inquiry before ruling; the court may decide on the motion where the facts on record are sufficient.
Pourquoi cela est important en pratique
For litigants, Section 25 is how you obtain urgent protection, such as a measure to preserve the status quo during the case, and how you set enforcement measures in motion after judgment. Because the court need not hold an inquiry, your motion should stand on its own, with the supporting facts and documents attached so the court can rule at once. If you are chasing a debtor and need to move to enforcement, our debt collection and execution service can prepare the motion.

Supreme Court Judgment No. 2280/2559 (2016)
A motion to stay execution is a request under Section 25 for a measure to enforce a judgment; Section 25 does not require the court to hold an inquiry first, so the court may rule where the facts of the case are sufficient.
The Court treated the defendant's motion to stay execution as a Section 25 request for a measure to enforce the judgment and held that Section 25 does not require an inquiry before the court grants or refuses it. Where the court finds the facts of the case sufficient to decide the motion, it need not hold an inquiry.

Foire aux questions
How do I ask the court for a protective measure during my case?

Does the court have to hold a hearing before ruling on my Section 25 motion?
No. Section 25 does not require an inquiry. If the facts on record are enough to decide, the court may rule on the motion straight away.
Can the court decide my motion together with the judgment?
Yes. If, when the motion is filed, the court is already in a position to decide the case, it may rule on the motion in its judgment or in the order deciding the case.
